ahhhh ko memilih dow. da kacak2, gi masuk COIT. byk pompuan lawa2 kot.

Compared to MMU, no idea. But UNITEN from what I know for Engine courses, they are hard. I even heard some people scored 4flats after being kicked out from UNITEN. You will have to study real hard for it.

Ahh orientation. How I wish NOT to be in that time again. So 'fun'~

I thought Amanah had always had a lot of parkings? The ones in A5/A6 sure a bit cramped, but around A1/A2 there's usually a bunch of em.

You will obviously have a few classes. There are at least a few hundred students. No class can fit all of you together.

You will be divided to a few classes. Students per class depends on subject. Subjects with labs usually around 40-60 with each lab around 20 students.
No labs and class using the hall, maybe around 80 per class.

If its the same class, you may meet people from other courses but probably from the same major only. Usually they group people with same major to ease class transfer.

Foundation student's timetable is pre-arranged. You have the ability to drop and re-add a different class once a semester started, but you can't arrange beforehand. The college will arrange it for you.

You will have the ability to arrange timetable on the previous semester on your second semester of Degree if I recall correctly.

haha of course no. Its university for god sake. Just because your timetable is pre-arranged doesn't make it like a school. Class time at 8AM and ends 10PM but that doesn't mean you'll have class for that whole 14 hours. Sometime you might have 8-10 then 2-4. It all depends on the class. Different class with different sections have different times. If you're unlucky like me, can get 8AM till 4PM. Different building some more. Very painful times

Not really. There are quite a few buildings in uniten. CoIT, COE, BV, Admin, Ikal. Sometime you will have classes at different building.

COE's building from Amanah or Cendi is a bit far if you're thinking of walking. Far in a sense that by the time you get, you'll be sweating a lot from the heat. Totally no shades. But its not rare to see people walk to classes. Best option is if you don't have an automobile is get a bicycle.

Shuttle bus sucks. They're slow and well, sucks. End of story.

Classes are from Monday to Friday but people tend to like having the Friday off even at the expense of a bit painful Monday to Thursday.

Formal for Mondays (kemeje, slack, black shoes), casual on other days (with shoes).

Bring a bicycle la

Ok here's the deal with UNITEN's vehicle policy. If you want to bring your own vehicle, no matter which year you're in, go ahead. I myself survived a few semester without stickers. The bad thing when you don't have one is sometime the guards won't let you in. This is a rare case. At most 3 times per semester. Sometime none. Usually will only happen when there's case (robbery, etc2).

As for the summon, if you don't have a sticker, they can do shit about it. Its just a piece of paper that you can throw out. If you're registered and got a summon, you can't get away. If you don't pay, it goes directly to your ledger balance. No way to run. Oh but if they summon you when you're around, it goes straight to your ledger balance.

So to get or not to get, you pick. Some of friends were lazy enough so they survived without. I applied mostly. Only a few sems I felt lazy coz you need to have a photocopy of the grant as well (lazy to go home and make a copy).

Based on my experience, there are quite a few cars without sticker. A lot of cars in Amanah as well. Amanah is only lived by Foundies after all (disregard foreign students, active seniors or MPPs).

True. Let say they force you to wake up at 6AM, imagine what time they have to wake up to wake YOU up. Do give them full cooperation.

looking at just the capacity, oh its fast alright. its 32 or 36Mbps. BUT! you're sharing with a few thousands student as well as staff around campus.

Jeans are okay last I checked. Monday is a different matter but other days pretty much every single student wear jeans

Yes you can. I just don't think they have such a rule in the first place


That's what I did. Pretty useless though since most time we'll be out on those orientation activities

I can't exactly remember how is it for the whole week but I do remember waking up on sunrise and went back at 10 or 11 or sumthing.

Well the part where its pretty much useless for me is how the internet works back then. It needs to be applied before you can use. These days all you need to do is plug in and you're good to go so I guess it's ok to bring it on from day 1.

Haha exactly. Oh by the way, they are called 'apartments' instead of hostels for a reason

This post has been edited by exentric_nova: Jun 16 2010, 05:45 PM

Haha yeah. That is the kind of things you'll get after paying that much. And even then they keep raising the fees every 2-3 semesters or so

Oh btw, for Cendi, since it's single, its 4 rooms. And not to forget you'll also get a study table as well. For amanah, the table is attached to your bed while Cendi it's outside your room. 2 people per table. And of course, a chair for each table (in amanah that is). Proper quite big almari for all your clothes as well.

Oh yeah, though it is an apartment with kitchen, no cooking is allowed. not even using those conductive stove. microwaves and minibars are alright (big fridges are a no).

No. you can bring your own though.


1) not muadzam student so can't comment much other than muadzam is somewhat in the jugle. there's nothing around it. slow internet as well. 2Mbps for the whole campus last I heard.
2) all class are conducted in english except for the obvious malay language class as well several others.
3) jeans and short sleeve are fine. as for skirt or dress, just try to be proper. you're not going in a club or anything.
4) I'm assuming you're in Muadzam so can't say. there's a dobi in amanah and cendi in putrajaya campus though.
5) I believe so.

murni is exactly as cendi. same building design. ilmu is a little different. not to sure about it but shared room are in ilmu. as for laundry, can't say. most girls I know wash their own clothe.

no electronic devices are provided. only the basic necessities. you can boil water of course. just everything to do with cooking on a stove is a no.

This post has been edited by exentric_nova: Jun 16 2010, 10:46 PM

haha c'mon la. can't be a guy if dunno how's the girls apartment is like

oh btw, one different thing cendi and murni is that all 3 building in cendi are for students while only 2 in murni are for students. the third is a little different specialized for married people.

Any type of cooking with stove is not allowed. so be creative and use microwave/oven (the small one of course)/rice cooker.

oh yeah, bring your own pillow. some room does have pillow but trust me, not the kind you want to sleep with

I also brought my own chair. the chair they provide is fairly simple dinner table chair and really pain the a$$ after a long period

Yeah. It does get uncomfortable after a long sit. Like I said, its mostly a dinner table chair. Not the kind you would be sitting hours on end (for studying of course).

Those chairs are not reliable too. Easily broken. That's if the previous senior hasn't break 'em already

Google Maps explains all
